Making Memories.

I *heart* Making Memories. News to anyone? Well, I just do. Yesterday I got a BOX full of the brand new Passport Collection PLUS the awesome new acrylic stamps they are selling now. MM is known for their innovative storage solutions and they have the most BRILLIANT way to store those acrylic stamps. And the fonts of those stamps are amazing!
There are 2 MM things happening right now that's very exciting.

1. They have a survey on their blog that you can fill out and then you stand a chance to win a lovely goodie bag... and

2. They are running a little referral contest. I want to participate. Please help me win. WHY you might ask? My aim here is to get as many people as possible to sign up... MM has only been good to me and if I can give a little goodness BACK to them, then I will be so happy!! It's because of Making Memories that I have been able to give away countless RAKS on my blog. The winner of this contest gets some Passport collection goodies BUT seeing that I have already more than enough of it, IF i win, I will give it all back it in RAKS.
All you have to do is: If you don't receive their newsletter, please subscribe. Remember to put my name in the referral box!! Wilna Furstenberg. Or if you want to stand a chance at winning the contest yourself, GO FOR IT!!!

Ok, so I was thinking ... if any of you have a GREAT idea what to do with the goodie box (IF I win), please leave me a comment. Maybe there is a scrapbooking for a good cause somewhere that would LOVE a donation!

COME ON!!! please play and have some fun with me!

ps... this is a little video of me opening the MM goodie box. Then you will understand why I (and my husband) love them so much!

Wilna-

If you win, I know of a GREAT idea-

My local Scrpbook Store is asking us Scrappers to donate our time to making layouts for Developmentally Disabled Individuals in a Center for Self-Advocacy. They would like to make their own scrapbook, but some have limited dexterity and mobility. I'll email you the link with more info. :) (And I'm definitely going to subscribe under your name!)

Hi Wilna!

I signed up for the MM newsletter and listed you as a referral! I took your class at the 08 Scrap Etc. Event. I LOVE your style!

I teach at a rural high school and sponsor a scrapbook club there, also. Most of the girls (and boys!) who come to the weekly club meetings cannot afford to purchase scrapbooking supplies. They LOVE paper crafting and the joy that it brings to their faces is priceless! We appreciate any donations we can get to keep our club going!

Thanks for all you do!

Just signed up for the newsletter. Loved watching you open up the box and seeing your smilling face at the end.
I think that there are many childrens hospitals that would love to get some of this product. Many of the hospitals that take care of pediatric cancer patients use scrapbooks as a therapy for the children to learn how to cope with their illness.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Wilna,
Signed up for the newsletter, thanks for the link! I work with Native American children on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington state...the missionary there is always looking for awards and craft supplies...these would thrill her (and the kids) to DEATH!

Thanks for opening the box on camera and allowing us to vicariously "have Christmas" with you!

Blessings!

Couldnt decide which I liked more- your accent or the wonderful products. Every product of MM I see becomes my new fav. I have a hard time deciding on one.

Very generous of you to do the giveaway. I am sure there are people who deserve this giveaway more than I do. Their need is greater than my want. So I excuse myself from this gift of yours.

I did sign up for the newsletter and have completed the survey too.

Have a great day,
Priya

Hi Wilna,

Just thought to let you know that it is tough for us from other countries to sign up for the newsletter as there is no 'international' option in the State/Province box. That box and the zip code box are required fields. There is a country option but unless the State/Province box is filled up the submission is invalid. Maybe I am missing something, I'll check again. Just thought I'll bring it your notice and you could maybe alert the folks over at MM.

PS: I used to live in Minnesota, so I have signed up temporarily by using MN and my old zip code, but it just doesnt feel right coz I dont live there anymore (I feel like I'm misleading someone). Sorry for the bother.

Are you kidding me! That's a ton of scrap goodness in a box! Awesome!

I once read about a MOPs group (Mothers Of Preschoolers) doing a scrapbooking class for mothers at a homeless shelter. The mothers were able to use the donated scrap supplies to make a layout with pictures of their children. You could check your local area to see if there's something like that?

Enjoy your goodies!

You got some awesome stuff from Making memories and I am so flipping jealous.

P.S. My fiance was watching this little video with me and he said wow, think of the monies she is saving by getting all that goodness of product sent to her. I started laughing.

He makes fun of me stating that I can open a mini craft store in my apartment...LOL
